Mr. DeJean certainly has prior PUMAtic form:
William DeJean thinks the media hasn’t been fair to his favorite candidate, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. The 46-year-old Chicago dentist has maxed out the amount of cash he can legally contribute to her campaign, so this weekend DeJean became a one-man political media message machine with the help of a fledgling San Francisco company called VoterVoter.com.
TV ads ripping Sen. Barack Obama will run 13 times over three days in West Virginia, site of Tuesday’s primary, with the federally required tagline: “Paid for by William DeJean and not authorized by any campaign or campaign committee.”
...
“If Tom Hanks can put his fat face on YouTube for Obama, then why shouldn’t I be able to put something out there for Hillary?” said DeJean, referring to the movie star’s online video endorsement of Obama this month. Another DeJean-approved ad could be on the air in Oregon later this week. Total for both: $10,000, a fraction of what it normally costs to create and air an ad on television.
...
DeJean spent $10,000 on his two ads - the one to air in Oregon features mostly his original material and cost more to assemble than a prefab piece.
“But I really didn’t have to do anything,” DeJean said. He started the process roughly eight days before the ads hit the air.
That’s from May 2008!
Is it the mercury in the fillings, the free access to nitrous, the horror of digging round in people’s diseased maws on a daily basis, or some other common quirk that turns out the Taitzes and DeJeans?
